ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ALTERNARIA BLIGHT DISEASE AND MORPHOLOGICAL ATTRIBUTES IN WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.)

Abstract

Forty seven and thirty nine wheat genotypes, in two separate sets, were used to study correlations of leaf blight (Alternaria triticina Prasada and Prabhu) disease with six and three morphological traits, respectively. Days to heading, days to maturity and plant height had significant negative correlations with the disease.
